Spinach – 1 bunch

Onion – 1

Tomato – 2

Chilli powder – 1 tsp

Coriander powder – 1 tbsp

Garam Masala – 1/4 tsp

Method:

Separate the spinach leaves from its stem(tender stems are ok to add). Wash it 3-4 times with water & keep this aside. Heat a pan with a cup of water. Add salt & asafoetida and let it boil. Once it starts boiling add the washed & cleaned spinach leaves. Cook for 3-5 mins. Let it cool down.

Once cooled, (drain the water & reserve it – to be used in the gravy) grind it into a smooth paste. Keep this aside. Heat a pan with a tbsp of oil and saute boiled & cubed potatoes for a few mins or until they turn slightly brown. (This step is purely optional). Keep this aside. In the same pan, heat oil & add onion paste and saute.
